I have a virtual domain. To the outside world, there is no
difference, but it means that I don't own the server, but rather have
bought/leased/rented (whatever you want to call it) the disk space
etc. from the company that really owns the server. They offer
unlimited traffic, but it does not say anything about CPU time.
Traffic shouldn't be a problem anyway, because I have been getting
2000 hits a day or more for a long time, and nobody has complained.

<p>

I'll have to ask them about CPU time. I'll send them an e-mail
tonight.

<p>

The only problem then is the disk space. I have 150 megs available on
my site, part of which I am already using. Would it be possible to
just run the scripts on my site, but offload the recordings/images to
another (somebody else's) server?

<p>

I can't promise anything until I've talked to my host.

<p>

Another option might be to buy space/time from some host. If you shop
around, this shouldn't be more than, say, $40/month, and if some of
the MARP regulars are willing to chip in, then it would be really
cheap for each individual. Of course, the only way for this to really
work is to pay one year or so in advance, which, if we could get 40
MARP regulars to sponsor this, would be only $12/year per person...

<p>

Cheers,
Ben Jos.

The other way could be for MARP to go the way that every other emu
site is, advertising banners... (That could make the money to pay for
it's place in cyberspace.)

<p>

Also, while I have ppl's attention, anyone know of a place to get
Intellivision roms?

I know I`m a complete new-boy here , but I do have an opinion. This
MARP thing is just TOO good to die. Common sense says that MARP
cannot die, and I believe and hope , won`t.
I feel completely and utterly useless at the moment , but have seen
from other message boards , the response from MARP-ERS to this
dilemma.
As a previous post said, if we have to pay for it , then there`s no
probs. I dunno what the solution is ( non- techno head ), but the
beloved Internet is the place to find one.
This may be somewhat naive on my part , but a message on Daves VGC ,
says try here:
http://www.onlinebusiness.com/OnlineBus ... osts.shtml

<p>

MARP is the only site were EVERY game that ever was is played to such
a level that it would be TOO much a loss to the gaming community.

<p>

Chris/Zwaxy, all I can do is offer you my hopes and prayers , and may
your God be with you , and with the rest of the MARP players also.
Remember , the Good guys always win in the end.
